Teen Killed By Roller Coaster At Six Flags

[Future Raptor Ace]

Teen Killed By Roller Coaster At Six Flags, he was decapitated. I think it was his fault though for going into a restricted area. My prayers are with him and his family.

Well this is news to me indeed, poor kid, and I loved how they used a more complex word like decapitated.

They could've gone and scared younger newswatchers by saying this unfortunate teenager got ripped up and torn in two.

My prayers for his family as well, unless of course, his family doesn't care, or...he doesn't have one, or whatever.

Sad, but this is the kind of kid who ends up in the Darwin Awards.

^Sadly I think these are the types of kids that end of in jail one day! He had no business climbing two 6 foot fences that were clearly marked. I guess that's the price you pay for being stupid. I feel for his family the most!

It sounds like he was looking for something. Yeah, he shouldn't have climbed the fences, but maybe the park can still improve things... I dunno, like make it more apparent who to go to when you drop something on the ride and want to retrieve it from restricted areas.

At any rate, it's creepy because I was on that ride. And when you're on a hanging rollercoaster like that, you always wonder if you'll somehow hit someone (or something).

God damn it im always thinking those god damn things are gonna fall apart.

Poor kid, but thats why they made signs. If he was looking for something he could've asked someone from the park.

ah i had heard about this. decapitation deaths arent cool.

Morbid stuff here, but at least this was probably instant, i'm sure he didn't know what hit him (literally). But yes, i feel very sorry for his family that has to live with this seeing as it could have been so easily prevented.

Yeah I bleave this coaster travels at 50 mph (going by the clone that is at my home park six flags great adventure), so he didnt know what hit him is right. At least it was quick.

This is awful for everyone involved, but I think who I feel the worst for is the friend who was with him when it happened, and witnessed the whole thing first hand.

Can you imagine? Poor kid is likely going to be in psychotherapy for the rest of his life.
